Hunter Reporting in Oregon

Getting a little anxious for the tag results next month so I was checking out the ODF&W website tonight. When I clicked on Hunter Reporting this is what I saw:

"Hunters who do not report by the specified deadlines for tags offered in the 2012 Regulations will not be able to purchase a license without paying a penalty. The penalty will be assessed beginning December 2013 with purchase of a 2014 license. The penalty fee amount, up to $25, will be established in October 2012"

Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone was wondering when they were going to start enforcing it.

Just FYI, the mandatory reporting line is 1-866-947-ODFW (6339). Many people call the number on the back of the tags, which dials into OSP dispatch as it's the TIP (Turn in Poachers) line. Most people you get on the phone there will know the correct number to reference you too, but it's easier to dial above.

I concientiously attempted to voluntarily report my results from last year, and the phone program they had set up was entirely complicated and NOT user-friendly. I then phoned the branch office directly, and the first thing the lady said when I stated I just tried to report, was "Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it?"

They better have improved it. I'm not stupid or inattentive (at least I wasn't that day), and it was IMPOSSIBLE!
